Heri Za Kwanzaa everyone! ♡♡♡
Habari Gani? Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self determination), Ujima (communalist work and responsibility), Ujamaa (communalist economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), Imani (faith).
I’m reaching out to affirm Naomi and Katt’s story and share some truths about my experience while living at the Brick and Mortar House in Detroit, Michigan. I’m doing this in honor of the Kwanzaa principle of Nia (purpose). I believe one of my purposes is to be a truth teller.
When I started this journey, I was worried about being too outspoken, or singled out, or losing support, or labelled a troublemaker or disrupter. Now, I am able to move in alignment with my principles and purposes, despite some fears and wariness. Part of why I have grown into this person is because of the love I have received from my village.
So I’d like to dedicate this call out to my Black Ancestars, my Black spirits, my loved ones, my communities, the House of Maroon, and every Black Q.T. in struggle for our communal liberation.
♡ Thank you all so much for nurturing my growth and courage. I’m grateful for us and rooting for us always. ♡

Heri Za Kwanzaa to our Wominist and Black Feminist Accomplices!
We hope this message meets you surrounded by loving people, good music, and delicious food. Although this year has been deeply traumatizing, and some of our Black Feminist Gs (pb2u bell!) have transitioned into Ancestarhood, we are grateful that, despite you grief, you have stayed true to your principles of creativity, spirituality, caregiving, solidarity, communalism, and struggle for a liberated society.
We hope the spirits of Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self determination), Ujima (communalist work and responsibility), Ujamaa (communalist economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (faith) continue to guide us throughout Kwanzaa and into the new year. Sending you MAJOR! mojo, juju, essence, chichi, love, ase, and warmth.
With Love,
The Adis

Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966 after having been created by professor of Africana studies, activist, and author Maulana Karenga to help give identity, purpose, and direction to African Americans.
Each of the seven days of Kwanzaa (between December 26 and January 1) correspond to the Nguzo Saba (the Seven Principles):
- Umoja - Unity - To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
- Kujichagulia - Self-Determination - To define and name ourselves, as well as to create and speak for ourselves.
- Ujima - Collective Work and Responsibility - To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems and to solve them together.
- Ujamaa - Cooperative economics - To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.
- Nia - Purpose - To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
- Kuumba - Creativity - To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
- Imani - Faith - To believe with all our hearts in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
Happy Kwanzaa to those who celebrate it. While it does not receive the same visibility or acknowledgement as other end-of-year holidays, it is important to include those who observe these seven days!

Sending peace, love, and light to those who celebrate Kwanzaa!

Joyous Kwanzaa from The Corning Museum of Glass! The kinara, Swahili for candleholder, holds seven candles—three red on the left, three green on the right, and a single black candle in the middle—that represent the seven principles that are the foundation of the African-American celebration Kwanzaa.
The glass kinara represents a bridge spanning generations of African-American people, and a waterfall cascades behind it to symbolize how they all flow together. Behind the scene, a mirror invites the onlooker to see their reflection and contemplate what Umoja means to them. Kwanzaa Setting was designed by Jonathan Rowe of Horseheads, New York, and the Rowe Family guided and assisted the Museum’s Hot Glass Demo Team in creating the piece.
You can see this Kwanzaa Setting at the Museum through January 4.
